Explanation / Answer

2. All these types of fluids can be analysed to detect disease or for research purposes.

Hence option (e) is correct.

3. In ABO blood group there are three types of alleles present namely A,B and O.

Hence option (d) is correct.

4. In ABO blood group, person with blood type O is universal donor, whereas blood type AB is universal acceptor.

Hence option (b) is correct.

5. Western blotting is a technique used to separate proteins based on their molecular weights using gel electrophoresis. It is not used for identifying DNA at crime scenes.

Hence option (b) is correct.
